How easy or difficult will this be? We're not married as I am still not divorced from my last wife ( been seperated nearly 3 years but I haven't lived somewhere that I can get divorced) I had a friend years ago that got his married Filipino a visa for the UK as well as her son from her first marriage but not sure how easy or difficult this would be in Germany Thanks
I've been living in Indonesia and now Philippines impossible to get the divorce here. However have now found a way to do it in Guam but would mean spending over a week there ( just haven't got the time for that at the moment)
You need to give a little background of who you married, when, which country you married in and which Nationality you are married to and what Nationality you are. Give us the full story, don't be shy
I am married to a Filipino, we got married in singapore when we're were resident there, however as I am no longer in Singapore or hold residency we can't divorce there, I believe there is a way to do it through the UK as being normally domicile but haven't looked into that yet as it seems complicated... I will do the Guam route when I can but don't think I can't have it done in time for this job offer, just wondering if anyone had experience of taking an in married patrtner to Germany and was it a spouse visa. My new partner and I have been together two years have a baby together so we can show ties
Regardless of the fact that you have been together for two years and have a child with your young lady, the fact remains you are married to another. She will not be able to apply for a Family Permit since she is not your wife, even though she is the mother of your child. If you wish her to join you in Germany, then she'll need to apply for a settlement visa from the German Embassy although quite what basis she will apply is an open question.
I rather think the answer to that is "No, because he remains legally married to another". You have in mind, I think, Common Law relationships: they only apply if both parties are legally able to contract marriage but choose not to have such a formal relationship.
If the marriage is registered in the uk he could start proceedings. Being domiciled here not being an issue methinks
